Petzl GriGri 2

The GriGri 2 from Petzl is a belay device with assisted braking for 8.9 to 11 mm rope. The GriGri 2 works equally well for lead climbing and top roping. Both compact and ultra-light, the GRIGRI 2 will accompany you on climbs for many years. The GRIGRI 2 features a design that allows excellent control during the descent.

Belay technique identical to classic belay systems: both hands on the rope. A fall is stopped by tightening the hand on the free end of the rope.

Assisted braking capability: during fall arrest, the belayer holds the free end of the rope, the cam pivots and pinches the rope, increasing the braking action until the rope stops sliding.

The GRIGRI 2 has a new design that allows excellent control during the descent. One hand holds the rope and the other uses the handle to unlock the cam. The patented handle design allows a very gradual release of the rope. In combination with the strong braking action of the cam, it gives a great feeling of control when lowering a partner or rappelling.

The GRIGRI 2 is compact and ultra-light at 185 g (25 % smaller and 20 % lighter than the GRIGRI)

The construction includes a stainless steel friction plate and cam to ensure a long life for the product

Such a smooth guide belay device with nice safety features. For the price, I'd get the Grigri+ so it'll last longer but this is lighter.

Very nice - 07/19/2018

This delay device gives you an extra feel of security with it’s auto lock. Nice to have when your climber has to hang around for a while. Can be a little tricky to play out rope fast when needed. Overall great device that definitely has a place on my rack.

Awesome tool, safety beyond belief - 07/06/2018

I love my gri gri. I use it in my SRT tree climbing rig and it has not failed me and will not in the near future. I have also used it to belay top rope climbing and knowing mtb ATC well gave me a good starting point to be completely backed and safe when using my gri gri. Wise buy as advertised and very versatile tool that can be used in different disciplines. Buy this- be safe. That simple.

Thank god for the GriGri - 07/05/2018

The GriGri makes belaying your partner simple and safe. Great for belaying partners who like to hangdog it while working on the projects. It took me a little while to figure out how to give out slack real quick, but watched a video on Petzlâ€™s site and was able to figure it out. Iâ€™ve used this device not just for single-pitch sport, but trad and multi-pitch climbing as well.

Solid for long belays - 05/17/2018

I don't really like using this except for when my partner is working something, so you can rely on the camming action to hold them. It's cumbersome to use, and I'd prefer a standard belay device for most applications. Not recommended for beginners!
